    Working through the night tonight. Wonder if I will catch the 1st 2012 baby? Will ring in the New Year with some great sparkling grape juice.

    Happy New Year MFP Friends/Family

    Also home by choice. . .I never go out on NYE. I think some people want to come over but I kind of want to be left alone and go to sleep early!

    Waiting on husband to get home from work. We'll play outside with some sparklers and might grab something to eat. Neither of us drink, will be sipping on seltzer water or coffee.

    We never go out on NYE & prefer to just have a quiet night at home. I plan on having a few pre-mixed margaritas & watching the fireworks that will be going off at midnight from the safety of our back deck.:drinker: That is,IF I am still awake at midnight.

    I never really party, so it is just another night home alone for me :(

    My husband works the graveyard shift, so he's at work tonight and I am staying in. We stayed up late last night playing poker with friends. I'm also watching Netflix, but having trouble finding anything good!

    Home with my husband (who will be asleep long before midnight), my 13yo daughter and her friend. Chose to stay home this year. I intend to work hard during 2012 to reach my goal. New Year's Eve 2013 will see me out with my new thinner/fitter body in the little black dress I just purchased for inspiration!

    Happy New Year!

    I am home alone and wouldn't want to be anywhere else tonight. I never did get the whole new year's thing - its crowded and expensive and for me, its never been worth the hype. I'm having a glass of wine and watching 30 Rock on Netflix and will be sound asleep when 2012 rolls in. Happy New Year everybody!

    Exactly. Just got back from dinner with friends- but declined the invite to stay late. I'm home with the dog, who is not really into all the surrounding fire crackers and was REALLY glad to see me!

    Dang migraine keeping me home. The wallet and my BAC are happy. Me, not so much as I lay here wearing sunglasses.

    Staying in, enjoying a glass of wine and watching a movie. Won't drink and drive and don't want to risk the one's who do. We're just enjoying a quiet evening. :drinker:

    I'm single and the few other singles around weren't going out since it's cold and raining so I am snuggled up with the cat and netflix. Don't have to worry about driving because I'm only a few blocks from the bars but the crappy weather just made it all not worth it.

    Been there! I've found that the Tylenol Muscle and Body Ache Meds work for my migraines. That's my first go to, if that doesn't work I go to the Meds my doctor prescribe. Hope you're feeling better!

    Spending the evening at home with four handsome men. But they are all currently trying to help Link rescue Zelda so this mother may have to go out for a 'last run of the year'. Good thing we don't have cable or I'd be tempted to stay on the couch and watch that Big Bang marathon. :)

    I'm also home on NYE, I have two small children and my husband worked at 4:00am this morning and my parents are heading home at 5:00am. Don't drink, just wanting the hockey game with a glass a water. Go Team Canada!

    Happy New Year to all you MFP users!

    Big Bang Theory is awesome! I am at home with my 3 year old who just fell asleep after watching Dolphin Tale :)
    The alone theory is silly...it is finding confidence in ourselves and believing that one day, the one will find their way to us..

    Just got back from the movies with my dad, but spending the rest of the night probably playing Skyrim. It's too bad, since we agreed to spend the night together, so I turned down a few get-together s with some friends instead. Now he doesn't really want to do anything, and it's too late to reconnect.

    Oh well, I might play some cards later closer to midnight. Happy NYE everyone :)

    Home alone by choice... with hot plans to be asleep well before midnight and up early for a run tomorrow morning. At age 39, I've done the New Year's thang many a time, so no need to do it again (even though I live within a literal stone's throw of a dozen bars and restaurants!).

    Off to fall asleep in front of a Law & Order repeat, or something equally exotic... :wink:

    Happy New Year, everyone!

    New Year's Day is my birthday and NYE is usually when I drink to celebrate it, but since my friends that I am the Designated Driver for all year are all jerks and wouldn't volunteer to drive me one night ... here I am! Oh well! Think of the calories I am saving, lol.

    I'm staying in with my baby girl, while her daddy is at work until 2:30-ish. So, I'm going to relax and watch the Biggest loser, and I'm actually going to burn my last 105 cals to total 1000 cals burned for today. :)

    Well, the kids are teenagers, so one has moved out and the other is at a slumber party one of her friends is having. And my wonderful husband is working overnight at the Sheriff's Office dealing with all the drunks, so I'm at home with the furbabies by myself. I don't like to go out without the hubby because he's my designated driver and being 6'3" and 295# makes him a force to be reckoned with so nobody messes with me. :laugh: I'll admit, though, that in the 5 years he's worked at the Sheriff's Office, he's worked every New Years Eve and I'm getting pretty sick of it! I've put him on notice that next year, when I will have moved to Tampa for my masters program, that he will take off and take me out. I don't mind being stuck at home alone while we live in the sticks with nothing to really do except party in a cow field, but once I'm in a real city with real parties, I will be going out and wearing my heels! Can't wear them here because they'd get stuck in the mud in the cow field. LMAO

    I love that movie! I actually went to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium over the summer and saw Winter in person. Such an inspiration! I hope to do some volunteer time there when I get moved to Tampa. Maybe I'll break it out and watch it tomorrow. Watching New Years Rockin' Eve tonight. :wink:

    Husband takes a page from Ben Franklin: 'Early to bed, early to rise....' even on NYE. Always has. My teens are out reveling at friends' house parties. And I'm here talking to all of you!

    It's all good because overcrowded restaurants and bars mean less service. We'll treat ourselves to a nice evening out after all the crowds have moved on to other things.
